The effect of chenodeoxycholic (CDCA), ursodeoxycholic (UDCA), tauroursodeoxycholic (TUDCA), cholic (CA), ursocholic (UCA) acids, analogues of CDCA and UDCA with a cyclopropyl ring at C22, C23 (cypro-CDCA and cypro-UDCA) and 23-methylursodeoxycholic acid (MUDCA) on cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase was studied in rat liver microsomes. Cypro-analogues consisted of a mixture of four diasteroisomers, while MUDCA was the racemic mixture of two enantiomers. Each steroid was added to liver microsomes at concentrations ranging from 10 to 200 microM. With the exception of UCA and CA, all the bile acids inhibited cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity. The inhibition shown by cypro-CDCA and cypro-UDCA was stronger than that observed with the corresponding natural compounds. 22S,23S cypro-UDCA exhibited an inhibitory effect which was more pronounced than that of the diasteroisomer mixture. The isomer 22R,23S was less effective and decreased cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity in a manner comparable to that of UDCA. The effect of CDCA, UDCA and the cyclopropyl analogues was also tested with respect to HMG-CoA reductase and acylCoA cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) activities. ACAT was stimulated by the isomer 22S,23S cypro-UDCA but not affected by the other bile acids. No effect was observed as regards HMG-CoA reductase.

D002785 Sterol O-Acyltransferase An enzyme that catalyzes the formation of cholesterol esters by the direct transfer of the fatty acid group from a fatty acyl CoA derivative. This enzyme has been found in the adrenal gland, gonads, liver, intestinal mucosa, and aorta of many mammalian species. EC 2.3.1.26.

D002790 Cholesterol 7-alpha-Hydroxylase A membrane-bound cytochrome P450 enzyme that catalyzes the 7-alpha-hydroxylation of CHOLESTEROL in the presence of molecular oxygen and NADPH-FERRIHEMOPROTEIN REDUCTASE. This enzyme, encoded by CYP7, converts cholesterol to 7-alpha-hydroxycholesterol which is the first and rate-limiting step in the synthesis of BILE ACIDS.

D001647 Bile Acids and Salts Steroid acids and salts. The primary bile acids are derived from cholesterol in the liver and usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. The secondary bile acids are further modified by bacteria in the intestine. They play an important role in the digestion and absorption of fat. They have also been used pharmacologically, especially in the treatment of gallstones. Bile Acid,Bile Salt,Bile Salts,Bile Acids,Acid, Bile,Acids, Bile,Salt, Bile,Salts, Bile
